...Everwood, Colo., a picturesque burg his wife once passed through and fell in love with. There, he grows a Grizzly Adams beard and sets up a free practice for the quirky folk that Picket Fences and Ed have taught us small towns are full of, while trying to reconnect with his kids...
...impoverished region, thanks largely to the Instituto de Pesquisas Ecologicas (Institute for Ecological Research), an organization co-founded in 1992 by Padua and her husband Claudio, a primatologist at the University of Brasilia. IPE's mission is as simple as it is ambitious: to protect--and insofar as possible--reconnect the last precious remnants of the Mata Atlantica, the great forest that once covered virtually the whole of eastern Brazil...

Also, he adds, "those who think, 'Well, you've got bald and bloated,' tend not to write in." Not all reunion stories have a happy ending. The very thing that can make a match--the feeling that you already know each other--can be a snare, as Lisa Liken, 42, a Southern California drama teacher, found when she was e-mailed by a high school boyfriend living abroad. On a month-long trip home, he began living...
